The Anchormen Show with Matt Gaetz - Episode 113 LIVE： Trump Is The Target – Firebrand with Matt Gaetz

00:00:01.000 The embattled Congressman Matt Gaetz.

00:00:03.000 Matt Gaetz was one of the very few members in the entire Congress

00:00:06.000 who bothered to stand up against permanent Washington on behalf of his constituents.

00:00:10.000 Matt Gaetz right now, he's a problem for the Democratic Party.

00:00:13.000 He could cause a lot of hiccups in passing applause.

00:00:16.000 So we're going to keep running those stories to keep hurting him.

00:00:20.000 If you stand for the flag and kneel in prayer,

00:00:23.000 if you want to build America up and not burn her to the ground,

00:00:26.000 then welcome, my fellow patriots.

00:00:29.000 You are in the right place. This is the movement for you.

00:00:33.000 You ever watch this guy on television?

00:00:35.000 It's like a machine, Matt Gaetz.

00:00:38.000 I'm a canceled man in some corners of the internet.

00:00:41.000 Many days I'm a marked man in Congress, a wanted man by the deep state.

00:00:46.000 They aren't really coming for me. They're coming for you.

00:00:49.000 I'm just in the way.

00:00:52.000 Joe Biden and his many allies, from Chuck Schumer to Mitch McConnell to Paul Ryan,

00:01:01.000 and every single news anchor on all of television, all of them believe that Ukraine, its borders, its future, its infrastructure,

00:01:07.000 are all more important than the town that you live in.

00:01:10.000 They sincerely think that, and it's obvious.

00:01:13.000 Everyone in power thinks that, except for Donald Trump.

00:01:17.000 Whatever else you say about him, Trump is the one guy with an actual shot of becoming president who dissents from Washington's longstanding pointless war agenda.

00:01:26.000 And for that, that one fact, they're trying to take Trump out before you can vote for him.

00:01:33.000 And that should upset you more than anything that's happened in American politics in your lifetime.

00:01:37.000 We are live. That was, of course, Tucker Carlson on Twitter, really framing up the battle that rages on in Washington, D.C.,

00:01:48.000 against the neoconservatives and the globalists.

00:01:51.000 And our instrument to fight back against that certainly was President Trump during his time in office.

00:01:57.000 Could be President Trump again.

00:01:59.000 The big news today, President Trump releasing on Truth Social a statement indicating that he expects an arrest, an indictment in the January 6th matter.

00:02:09.000 I'm reading now from the statement from President Trump in part.

00:02:12.000 Horrifying news for our country was given to me by my attorneys.

00:02:16.000 Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden's DOJ, sent a letter.

00:02:20.000 Again, it was Sunday night, stating that I am a target of the January 6th grand jury investigation

00:02:25.000 and giving me a very short four days to report to the grand jury, which almost always means an arrest, an indictment.

00:02:33.000 President Trump continues, they illegally spied on my campaign, attacked me with a totally fake dossier

00:02:40.000 that was funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC, impeached me twice, I won.

00:02:45.000 They failed on the Mueller witch hunt, no collusion.

00:02:48.000 They failed on the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, the 51 intelligence agents fraud, the FBI Twitter files,

00:02:54.000 the DOJ Facebook censorship, and every other scam imaginable.

00:02:57.000 But on top of all that, they now effectively indicted me three times with a probable fourth coming from Atlanta

00:03:04.000 where the DOJ are in strict and possibly illegal coordination with the district attorney

00:03:09.000 whose record on murder and other violent crime is abysmal.

00:03:13.000 This witch hunt is all about election interference and a complete and total political weaponization of law enforcement.

00:03:20.000 It is a very sad and dark period for our nation.

00:03:24.000 President Trump didn't even get to all of the conspiracies and hoaxes that were pushed by the left,

00:03:30.000 even at the Russian bounties hoax.

00:03:32.000 Remember that, that somehow President Trump was aware that there were bounties on our troops from Russians in Afghanistan.

00:03:38.000 That turned out to be yet another op.

00:03:41.000 And indeed, what we see with this lawfare is an op.

00:03:45.000 What we see from the coordinated efforts by state, local, federal prosecutors to try to take President Trump off track

00:03:54.000 so that he's not able to pursue a policy agenda to get the economy going again,

00:03:59.000 to get America's standing in the world restored.

00:04:02.000 So instead, it is all about this lawfare.

00:04:04.000 Now, what does this target letter mean?

00:04:06.000 I want to go over that first.

00:04:08.000 It belies the evidence.

00:04:09.000 We recall on January 6th, President Trump calling on people to peacefully protest and have their voices heard.

00:04:18.000 We've also seen subsequently that there were actual permits given to entities to have stages set up outside the Capitol grounds.

00:04:25.000 And of course, on Firebrand, we have documented the video evidence of the criminal acuity increasing,

00:04:32.000 not as a consequence of people wanting to break the law, but because barriers had been taken down,

00:04:38.000 because there was mass confusion.

00:04:40.000 There was not any sort of planned effort on the part of President Trump to commit violence against anyone.

00:04:48.000 How is it that when Democrats call for all of these protests and all of this disruption and all of this violence,

00:04:58.000 literally violence in some cases, oh, that's seen as the frontiers of free speech.

00:05:04.000 But when President Trump calls on people to peacefully have their voices heard,

00:05:09.000 all of a sudden that's the subject of a grand jury investigation.

00:05:12.000 So another important thing to note, when someone gets a target letter like President Trump has now been given,

00:05:18.000 that vests certain rights.

00:05:19.000 You have the ability to address the grand jury if you so choose.

00:05:23.000 That's oftentimes a perjury trap because you don't exactly know what's been going on in that room.

00:05:29.000 So a lot of targets do not avail themselves of that opportunity.

00:05:34.000 It's also pretty clear that this is a feature and a tool of retribution.

00:05:40.000 You would not see this continued pattern of indictment over indictment over indictment if they thought they had neutralized Trump.

00:05:48.000 Is there a single American who believes that Donald Trump would be getting indicted over these things

00:05:54.000 if he were not running for president again and if he were not the leading contender for president again?

00:06:00.000 And while this isn't a political show, you all can search the polling and see how President Trump is doing in the Republican field and in the general election.

00:06:08.000 Again, not here to break that down.

00:06:10.000 It's relevant to us insofar as it informs the decision of a weaponized government to target him,

00:06:16.000 which is exactly the allegation that President Trump makes in his statement.

00:06:22.000 Another important thing, the House of Representatives needs to take action to defund this special counsel investigation immediately.

00:06:31.000 We do not need to wait for the appropriations process.

00:06:34.000 We don't have to wait for the Holman rule or some rider.

00:06:38.000 They are attacking our democracy and engaging in election interference right now.

00:06:43.000 And if the United States Congress does not have the capability to stop that election interference,

00:06:48.000 well then what is all the flowery oratory about preserving the Republic?

00:06:54.000 We have to operationalize that.

00:06:57.000 And so in the coming hours, the coming days, I will be introducing legislation under my name and the House of Representatives

00:07:05.000 as a freestanding bill to defund the Jack Smith investigation.

00:07:09.000 And one reason why is the election interference feature.

00:07:13.000 Another reason why, the lack of transparency.

00:07:15.000 I have sent correspondence to the Attorney General.

00:07:18.000 I just want to know who's on the Jack Smith team.

00:07:21.000 You remember how the understanding of the composition of the Mueller team informed on how we saw a lot of that evidence

00:07:29.000 and a lot of that legal analysis?

00:07:31.000 They had a team of vicious Democrats. 0.93

00:07:33.000 And if you look at Jack Smith and his team,

00:07:38.000 you ought to be able to evaluate where they've made political donations,

00:07:41.000 where they've been political appointees, what their connections are to people who have skin in the game,

00:07:48.000 to preserve their power in Washington, D.C.

00:07:51.000 So because the Department of Justice has been non-responsive on my requests for reasonable information

00:07:57.000 that a member of the Judiciary Committee is absolutely entitled to,

00:08:01.000 because this is election interference,

00:08:03.000 because it is not predicated on what we all saw as a nation,

00:08:09.000 President Trump said, we have to stop sending money to this.

00:08:13.000 The power of the purse is not some intermittent thing that we wield every year and a half or every fiscal cycle.

00:08:23.000 It's something that we have to wield day in and day out to achieve victory for our people and to stop this.

00:08:29.000 And by the way, I'm under no illusions about Joe Biden signing such a legislative device into law.

00:08:36.000 I know that Chuck Schumer would never bring such a thing up.

00:08:39.000 But you deserve to know where your members of Congress are counted.

00:08:43.000 Will they co-sponsor my legislation?

00:08:45.000 I certainly hope they will.

00:08:47.000 And when we get to the must-pass legislation,

00:08:50.000 because look, even if Jack Smith indicts Trump 10 minutes from now,

00:08:55.000 you're looking at legal process that has extended out a great deal.

00:08:59.000 We have to make sure that in this appropriations process,

00:09:02.000 we do not continue to fund a government that has turned against the very nature of elections and free choice by the voters.

00:09:10.000 Because that's the world you're living in.

00:09:12.000 And by the way, President Trump lays out all the pieces of it.

00:09:15.000 It's not just the indictments in a vacuum that you have to look at.

00:09:19.000 You have to look at them through the lens of the Facebook efforts to try to move votes.

00:09:24.000 You have to look at them through the lens of the efforts that we've seen just to try to get candidates excluded from the ballot.

00:09:32.000 We saw that in Georgia.

00:09:33.000 Oh, well, we didn't like your rhetoric on January 6th, so you don't even have a right to run.

00:09:38.000 For the sake of democracy, we have to limit the choices of the voters.

00:09:43.000 You know what type of regimes say that?

00:09:46.000 Dictators.

00:09:47.000 Dictators.

00:09:48.000 The worst dictators in the world say that in order to protect their people from bad and disruptive choices,

00:09:55.000 they just disqualify those people from participation.

00:09:59.000 What do you think this lawfare is?

00:10:02.000 It is the American incarnation of the worst impulses of totalitarianism. 0.79

00:10:08.000 And we have to stand against it and we have to do it now.

00:10:10.000 And I know where I'll be counted in the history books on behalf of giving the voters the ability to pick their own president.

00:10:17.000 And not saying that we're going to let Jack Smith, Jack Smith of all people,

00:10:23.000 and who knows what assembly of associates and assistants deprive us of that choice.

00:10:29.000 So we stand with the rule of law.

00:10:31.000 We stand against this degradation of democracy.

00:10:34.000 It's with no joy that we give you this report because President Trump is right.

00:10:38.000 It is indeed a dark, dark day.

00:10:41.000 There may be other dark days ahead when it comes to utilization of AI.

00:10:47.000 And we have to have policymakers that are serious about artificial intelligence,

00:10:52.000 that understand the contours of the distinct policy choices that we have to make.

00:10:57.000 And an affront to that seriousness is what you're about to see from the Vice President of the United States.

00:11:04.000 Play the clip.

00:11:06.000 And I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing.

00:11:13.000 First of all, it's two letters.

00:11:15.000 It means artificial intelligence.

00:11:17.000 But ultimately what it is is it's about machine learning.

00:11:22.000 And so the machine is taught.

00:11:26.000 And part of the issue here is what information is going into the machine that will then determine,

00:11:34.000 and we can predict then if we think about what information is going in,

00:11:40.000 what then will be produced in terms of decisions and opinions that may be made through that process.

00:11:50.000 AI doesn't make decisions yet.

00:11:52.000 That would be general artificial intelligence.

00:11:55.000 And we are oftentimes at a state of wonder as to when that will occur.

00:12:00.000 Elon Musk said recently on Spaces with Mike Gallagher, who chairs the relevant subcommittee in the armed services over AI,

00:12:08.000 and with Ro Khanna that he thought we might be five years away from that type of generalized artificial intelligence.

00:12:14.000 But artificial intelligence and machine learning aren't the same thing.

00:12:18.000 And we ought to have discussions with the public and with serious people about how various exquisite data sets

00:12:26.000 play into the ability for AI models to be able to generate helpful, instructive, destructive work products in a variety of ways.

00:12:36.000 So just today, I've stepped out of a really important subcommittee hearing where we had some of the world leaders on artificial intelligence talking about the intersection of AI and our military policy.

00:12:49.000 And unlike the vice president, we had a very serious discussion about this point.

00:12:53.000 And I'm telling you, if you aren't thinking about AI in every aspect of where the economy is moving, where foreign policy is moving,

00:13:00.000 where kinetic conflict is moving, where soft power can be extended, then you're not getting the full picture.

00:13:06.000 This is not just the next technology. It could indeed be the last technology.

00:13:11.000 We are going through these serious issues.

00:13:14.000 I want to bring you in the room to the Armed Services Committee just moments ago on artificial intelligence.

00:13:19.000 Play the clip.

00:13:22.000 Mr. Wang, thank you for bringing into sharp relief the extent to which we have to think about all of these weapons systems that we have in contested environments.

00:13:29.000 As data collections platforms, almost primarily when it comes to integration with AI.

00:13:36.000 And I took great interest in your call to the committee that we not waste that exquisite data that is being collected.

00:13:46.000 What advice would you have for the committee about shaping some sort of access or utilization regime for the data that we are currently wasting?

00:13:54.000 I think this is one of the most important things that we can do to set up America for decades and decades of leadership in military use of AI.

00:14:04.000 Right now, a lot of this data goes onto hard drives.

00:14:07.000 And what ends up happening are the hard drives are either overwritten with new information, so the old data gets deleted effectively and lost,

00:14:14.000 or these hard drives go into sort of closets or places where they never see the light of day.

00:14:20.000 So first is instrumenting the data to sort of flow into one central data repository.

00:14:26.000 The CDAO has a legislative mandate to do so and set up a central data repository for the DOD.

00:14:33.000 So I think that's of critical importance.

00:14:35.000 And then this is a whole of DOD issue.

00:14:39.000 Every service, every group, every program needs to be thinking about how can they,

00:14:44.000 all of the data that their programs are collecting and that are being generated within their purview,

00:14:49.000 how can they ensure that all these data flow through into one central data repository,

00:14:53.000 and then are prepared and tagged and labeled for AI-ready use down the line.

00:14:58.000 And it would seem as though under the normal construct of a mission set,

00:15:03.000 someone might reasonably be stovepiped away from the broader utilization of some of that data.

00:15:09.000 So it almost seems like something that is an appendage to a mission set.

00:15:16.000 Very hard to weave it in because as you're collecting data in contested environments,

00:15:21.000 it could be for all kind of reasons and all kind of help.

00:15:24.000 So I wonder aloud what will be commoditized first,

00:15:29.000 the processing capability on some of these platforms or the data itself?

00:15:34.000 Well, I think you're right that this is, you know, data is a new asset for this new regime of AI warfare.

00:15:43.000 Data truly is the ammunition that will power, you know, our future efforts in the military.

00:15:49.000 So, you know, it is a new paradigm to think about data as a key and central resource versus, as you mentioned,

00:15:56.000 an appendage that sort of doesn't feel particularly critical to the future operation of our programs.

00:16:02.000 Yeah, you know, we do all kind of domestic policy, military policy around who can access rare earth minerals,

00:16:09.000 who can access various forms of energy.

00:16:12.000 And I wonder if in the future a nation state's access to exquisite data sets that have been properly stored and collected are viewed just as precious.

00:16:23.000 I also wanted to reflect on the smartest hour I ever spent.

00:16:27.000 And it was listening to Elon Musk with our chair and ranking member discuss some of these issues.

00:16:31.000 And I would encourage anyone watching this who has an interest in the issue,

00:16:35.000 hard to find a conversation on the Internet with a higher average IQ across the board than that one.

00:16:40.000 But what Mr. Musk presented as an argument was that China understands that AI control of governance is equally a threat to them and to the United States.

00:16:52.000 And so Mr. Musk's argument was we really are ideal partners with China because we share a common goal to not have the AI robots ultimately take over our governance.

00:17:04.000 And our chairman offered, I think, a pretty strident critique of that perspective, saying that, you know,

00:17:10.000 while we view China as typically thinking long term and the short term, they're more team communistic genocide than they are team humanity. 0.72

00:17:18.000 So I was just wondering if because you had so much in your written testimony about your time in China and how that shaped your perspective on the ethics of all this.

00:17:27.000 Do you think China sees an overlap of interests with the United States on this or do they see us as a as explicitly an arm's length competitor?

00:17:37.000 I think it would be stretched to say we're we're on the same team on this on this issue.

00:17:43.000 I think that, you know, if you look at the last generation of AI computer vision technology, the way that China approached it was utilizing it,

00:17:52.000 building an industrial base that was government funded to immediately build advanced facial recognition technology for the suppression of their population and suppression of Uyghurs, 1.00

00:18:01.000 ultimately sort of tightening the grip of their totalitarian regime.

00:18:04.000 I expect them to use modern AI technologies in the same way to the degree that they can.

00:18:10.000 And that seems to be the immediate priority of the Chinese Communist Party when it comes to implementations of AI.

00:18:18.000 So we'll count you on Team Gallagher, not Team Elon on that.

00:18:21.000 All right, we are back live.

00:18:25.000 We had a lot of folks cheerleading for the Five Eyes alliances, the AUKUS alliances.

00:18:31.000 There was a case being made for the EU as a central node for AI development.

00:18:36.000 I tend to think that the EU and NATO probably less nimble than than Five Eyes and AUKUS. 0.57

00:18:42.000 But certainly we want to make sure that we don't allow these tools to be exclusively in the hands of people who would seek to dominate us.

00:18:50.000 And right now you've got China spending about two percent of their overall military budget on AI.

00:18:56.000 We're spending about point one to point two percent of ours.

00:19:00.000 Now, Cindy on Facebook shared her perspective that we just need to stop AI.

00:19:05.000 That was her comment.

00:19:08.000 And I wonder if it's that easy, because if we stop, does that necessarily mean that non-state actors that other governments will as well?

00:19:17.000 Bill Clinton stopped U.S. work in space,

00:19:21.000 hoping that our country taking a pause would result in other nations being less likely to weaponize space.

00:19:27.000 But in fact, that didn't happen because we took a pause.

00:19:30.000 Precisely because we made that policy choice, other nations like Iran, Turkey, India,

00:19:38.000 these emerging entities actually increased their investment in space.

00:19:42.000 I don't know if that's going to decrease the likelihood of militarized space.

00:19:46.000 Now, undeniably with the Space Force, we see that as a contested domain.

00:19:51.000 AI is going to be a contested domain as well because the data that goes into the AI that informs the outcomes will be sought after.

00:20:02.000 It will be commoditized to some degree, as I discussed with Mr. Wang.

00:20:06.000 America's, I think he was a billionaire at 25 going through some of this stuff.

00:20:11.000 A very impressive young man does a lot of work with our government.

00:20:14.000 But I don't know that Cindy's goal of merely stopping AI will be sufficient.

00:20:18.000 Other comments on the live stream.

00:20:20.000 Mike on Facebook says that accountability is the new witch hunt.

00:20:24.000 An interesting perspective.

00:20:26.000 And Mark on Getter says that talk never moved a stump.

00:20:31.000 And I wanted to draw attention to this point because it is not enough to use our words to condemn what we see going on.

00:20:39.000 We have to pull the money.

00:20:42.000 And I am not in a majority when it comes to that perspective in the Congress or maybe even the Republican Party.

00:20:48.000 And so that's where this audience and conservatives across the country have to demand an adherence to the rule of law.

00:20:56.000 And where there is a departure from that, there have to be actual monetary consequences, not just a series of press releases, tweets and condemnation.

00:21:04.000 So very, I think, astute point, Mark.

00:21:07.000 Heather on Facebook book says Matt just needs to shut up.

00:21:11.000 Well, that is not going to happen.

00:21:13.000 And I can only imagine how sad someone would have to be to sit around on Facebook watching my podcast telling me to shut up.

00:21:21.000 Like, I guess if you don't want to be informed, then you can go elsewhere.

00:21:25.000 But we've got work to do.

00:21:27.000 We've got information to convey.

00:21:28.000 And it's certainly an honor to be able to do that.

00:21:30.000 I had an honor to convey a lot of information this past weekend at the Turning Point USA conference where we talked about some of the policy decisions that we make here in Washington, some of the contours of the United States Congress.

00:21:45.000 The speech got a pretty favorable reception.

00:21:48.000 I'll play just a few moments of it for you.

00:21:51.000 These are my remarks this last weekend at Turning Point.

00:21:53.000 Enjoy.

00:21:54.000 And I'll be back live on the other side.

00:21:57.000 In recent years, I've traded far too many days in the swamps of my beloved Florida for the swamp of Washington, D.C.

00:22:08.000 And if you haven't noticed, I've directed a little sunshine into some pretty dark spaces.

00:22:17.000 I don't think I'm going to be on Christopher Wray's Christmas card list or John Durham's and maybe not Kevin McCarthy's either.

00:22:26.000 And you know what?

00:22:27.000 That's all right with me.

00:22:29.000 Earlier this year, we put the speaker and the world on notice.

00:22:35.000 No more cheerfully presiding over American decline on our watch.

00:22:40.000 No more messaging bills.

00:22:42.000 No more press releases devoid of action. 0.99

00:22:46.000 No more bluster and bullshit masquerading as bravado. 0.99

00:22:50.000 But I don't just sit around taking punches. 0.99

00:22:56.000 I've learned to dish a few out.

00:22:59.000 Recently, Chris Christie attacked me for asking tough questions of the FBI director who was Christie's personal lawyer during Bridgegate.

00:23:11.000 You know when I stopped being afraid of COVID?

00:23:14.000 When Chris Christie beat COVID.

00:23:19.000 Almost nobody's going to get beat by Chris Christie in the upcoming.

00:23:24.000 Oh, Chris Christie's not going to beat that many people in the upcoming election.

00:23:27.000 So if he beat COVID, there wasn't anything.

00:23:29.000 I was out karaoke bars the very next day.

00:23:32.000 Joe Biden just activated 3,000 reservists.

00:23:39.000 Sleepy Joe, who promised us that he was going to be like the national sedative, is now exporting cluster munitions to Ukraine. 0.82

00:23:49.000 We are still demining cluster munitions in Laos 50 years later.

00:23:55.000 It's a terrible thing.

00:23:58.000 A president who most days cannot find his pants should not be able to sleepwalk the United States of America into a war with a nuclear power.

00:24:11.000 There's this big online debate raging right now, and I just want to settle as one true north for the nature of truth itself.

00:24:20.000 Margot Robbie is not mid.

00:24:23.000 A 10 is a 10, even with Common Core math.

00:24:26.000 God's love does not halt for the limitations of man, and God's reach does not stop at the schoolhouse gates.

00:24:42.000 And in the coming days, I will introduce a national prayer in school law so that in every classroom in America, there will be time for students to pray if they choose.

00:25:03.000 And you know what?

00:25:04.000 This beautiful new Supreme Court that President Trump gave us just might uphold a constitutional law like that based on the values that this country was built on.

00:25:15.000 This is not the Lincoln-Douglas debating society or the neighborhood civility brunch.

00:25:23.000 This is a fight to save the greatest country that has ever existed.

00:25:27.000 And so here is my charge to all of you, to all of my colleagues in the Congress, join the ranks of the firebrands or get out of our way.

00:25:45.000 We are back live.

00:25:46.000 We're very excited about that national prayer in school legislation to allow a moment for reflection and prayer to any God or no God at all.

00:25:56.000 But I do think reserving that time would make people more empathetic.

00:26:00.000 And maybe before we go take people's Second Amendment rights away as a knee-jerk reaction to school shootings, we ought to focus on making the school not a place of just like so much trauma for this group of very disturbed and mentally unhealthy individuals.

00:26:16.000 And I got to tell you, I'm betting on prayer to break through that more than any other government program or social-emotional learning exercise designed by bureaucrats.

00:26:27.000 Give me the social-emotional learning designed by God.

00:26:31.000 And I think that can have a great impact on people and a positive impact, and hopefully it can be a unifying thing.

00:26:38.000 And we did have jurisprudence out of the Supreme Court about prayer in school.

00:26:42.000 They did allow a coach to be able to go and pray at the 50-yard line, followed by students at the end of a high school football game.

00:26:51.000 So we can trace some of the analysis there we've got out of the Trump court and unlock possibilities for us to be better humans and certainly better servants of God.

00:27:02.000 And we should all aspire to that.

00:27:04.000 A lot of feedback on the live stream.

00:27:07.000 Somebody's inviting me to New Jersey to run for Congress.

00:27:10.000 You may not know this, but I'm currently banned from New Jersey by your governor.

00:27:13.000 He said that I'm no longer welcome there.

00:27:15.000 So I think I'll stay a Florida man.

00:27:17.000 And on YouTube, there was an interesting comment that the only thing that they thought Chris Christie could beat would be a buffet.

00:27:25.000 Savage. Absolutely savage.

00:27:28.000 It is certainly a day of a lot of reactions here on Capitol Hill.

00:27:33.000 I've talked to a number of my colleagues about this statement from President Trump that he expects yet another arrest and indictment in the Jack Smith matter.

00:27:41.000 I think this is among the most political, most ridiculous because we have the evidence that President Trump was calling for a patriotic, peaceful protest.

00:27:52.000 Permitted even in some cases by some groups that wanted to host an audience outside the Capitol grounds.

00:27:59.000 Don't forget that whistleblower testimony that I brought forward indicating that one of the reasons why evidence couldn't even be shared within the FBI is because the FBI field office was acknowledging the involvement of federal government assets on January 6th.

00:28:15.000 And we still don't have the answer to those questions.

00:28:18.000 We shouldn't have Americans who were not violent, who never intended to break a law in some state of potential prison or peril when it's our own federal government that hasn't been fulsome and forthcoming when we have asked important questions.

00:28:34.000 We will stay on that, just like we will stay on the matter that seems to be destabilizing to the upcoming presidential election and the lawfare they're appended to.

00:28:44.620 I wanted to end the show today on a more lighthearted note.

00:28:48.000 Yesterday, my wife Ginger and I went to an event at the UK Embassy where they had a Barbie party.

00:28:55.020 As you might imagine, it was Ginger's choice to go there and we watched the Barbie movie and my wife had the spiciest take on the Barbie movie. 1.00

00:29:04.380 So I'm going to give you the at Lucky Ginger, which is my wife's Twitter handle, take on this matter.

00:29:10.660 She says, quote, thinking about watching the Barbie movie, I'd recommend sticking to getting outfit inspiration and skipping the theater.

00:29:18.540 Here's why.

00:29:19.160 The Barbie I grew up with was a representation of limitless possibilities, embracing diverse characters and feminine empowerment.

00:29:27.780 The 2023 Barbie movie, unfortunately, neglects to address any notion of faith or family and tries to normalize the idea that men and women cannot collaborate positively.

00:29:40.420 Yuck.

00:29:41.300 Ginger lists the pros of the Barbie movie are Margot Robbie's performance, I would agree there, 0.84

00:29:46.440 the stunning costume design and the amazing soundtrack.

00:29:49.820 The cons include the unfortunate portrayal of big dreams causing anxiety instead of inspiration,

00:29:56.460 disappointingly low T from Ken and the unfair treatment of pregnant Barbie Midge. 0.98

00:30:03.020 Ginger says, I really wanted to enjoy it, but I ended up feeling let down at American Girl.

00:30:08.500 Please don't take notes on this one.

00:30:10.420 A savage hot take from my wife, Ginger, and I will just say I agree with her on that point.
